Satan of Saturn Blasts out of the Arcade Archives from Today

Satan of Saturn has been announced as this week’s release in Hamster Corporation’s Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 lines of emulated coin-op titles for modern formats, following last week’s release of Cyber Cycles, on which we reported at the time.

Tis week’s game is a Space Invaders-style shoot ‘em up that was originally released into arcades by SNK, way back in 1981. The game was licensed to Taito for its North American release, where it was released under the name Zarzon.

Hamster Corporation describes the gameplay of Satan of Saturn as follows: “fire your missiles and laser beams to take down the UFOs and rockets coming to invade Earth. Clear the Earth stages and blast off for Saturn! Win the decisive battle against Satan of Saturn!”

The Arcade Archives version of Satan of Saturn will be available on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 from today (August 27, 2026), priced at $7.99 USD or local equivalent.

Meanwhile, the Arcade Archives 2 version of the game, which adds a new Time Attack mode to the game, will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $9.99 USD or local equivalent.

As usual, purchasers of the Arcade Archives version of the game on Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 4 can upgrade to the Arcade Archives 2 version at a later date, on Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation 5 respectively, for $2.99 USD or local equivalent.

I'm a retro gamer and writer who writes about video games for online and print outlets. My love of gaming began way back in 1986 with the ZX Spectrum, before becoming a lifelong Nintendo fan in 1990 with the Game Boy. And although I keep up with modern gaming, we all know you can't beat retro classics (or maybe I'm just old!) https://x.com/paultwist
